Can you believe I have not been to the thrift in a week? The last time I was there I bought a Polaroid. The square shooter 2 for only 1.91! Can't beat that.
I've found a couple neat typewriters and two days ago, I found cute skirts in styles and colors I like... and they fit me perfectly. It was amazing. One of them was even handmade of the coolest fabric
Very cool! I recently found a countertop corkscrew for wine-lovers like me and didn't buy it because of budget restrictions. Regretting it. I think you did well in your purchase.
I so want one of those!!! I do more shopping at antique stores here - we have a couple that have a decent amount of budget-conscious items, but our thrift stores around here are filled with utterly worn out clothes, smelly books (and not the good book smell), and mismatched coffee cups. But I love my antique stores! I found a pristine Holga imitation from the 80s recnetly - except for some reason the film won't advance. I am still tinkering, though I have ni idea what I am doing!
Awesome find. Does it work? I found a Minolta Uniomat a few weeks ago (Made in the 1960's) for $20 AUD. It was marked $22 but the lady was new and couldn't work out how to do $22 on the register :) Lucky me! hehe I was afraid it wouldn't work but bought some film, took some shots at a party I went to and in my garden and they came up a treat! Just have to work out the focus as a few were blurry (but I did have a few wines by that point! haha) so good find for sure! I had decided if it didn't work that it looked cool on the shelf anyway!
i love your find! i just got a Kodak Duaflex IV at a flea market and love it! (i posted about it on my blog). and now im on the look out for more vintage cameras to add to my collection!

I'm not sure I'd count that as a thrifty find because, if I can find one of those locally, it could cost me a good 150$ or more! D:
Lovely!

Love it!! Last weekend I scored an Alvin and the chipmunks record and a wood and navy necklace that was probably from the 70s!
Awww I love old cameras. I always want to buy them, but I know I won't really use them, so I resist.
Chic on the Cheap
